[PATCH 7/7] media: cedrus: Improve H264 memory efficiency

Thu May 30 21:15:16 UTC 2019


H264 decoder driver preallocated pretty big worst case mv col buffer
pool. It turns out that pool is most of the time much bigger than it
needs to be.

Solution implemented here is to allocate memory only if capture buffer
is actually used and only as much as it is really necessary.

This is also preparation for 4K video decoding support, which will be
implemented later.
